I made a little script to backup your phone and a list of all
installed clicks. It's called buds and is available on github:-

Feedback / suggestions welcome.

It doesn't currently have restore capability but once you have the
backup, it's not too painful to manually put the files back.

Hello,

I think backing up `/home/phablet/ folder` should work. See this Q&A:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/602850/how-do-i-backup-my-ubuntu-phone

And this one includes the `adb pull` method in details:

Hi dear list,

As the subject says I need to backup my device before sending him to 
bq. I do not know how to perform a backup, neither the recovery as the 
option to do it, neither the system settings. I've waiting for such 
function to land in Touch, but now my bq can't wait anymore, he has to 
go.


So, how do I perform a backup of my SMS. And if such method exist, it 
is 100% granted that I can restore them?


I'm using a google account, so contacts, calendars are all backup. I 
can reinstall the apps I'm currently using, no problem with that.


Just the SMS, I can't loose them. If no granted method I will not send 
the phone, but this means stop using ubuntu because the phone at the 
moment is not usable as a daily driver.


Thanks :)
